There are 999 possible MARC tags, many of which have been established by the Library of Congress as fields in the various MARC formats.  The following lists each possible tag and, where applicable, its assigned usage in the Classification Data Format.

The Tag List groups the Variable Control Fields and Variable Data Fields.  The Variable Data Fields are subgrouped as follows:

Control Information, Numbers and Codes

Classification Numbers and Terms

Tracings and References

Notes

Index Terms

Number Building Fields

Other Variable Fields

Note:  Generally, any field containing a "9" (e.g., 049, 910, etc.) is available for local use, such as local call numbers, holdings, or subject headings.  Check with your system vendor for further information.
